It's great to know that there are a lot of channels now for us to help and reach out to our fellow Filipinos who were struck by Typhooon Ondoy (Ketsana). I am deeply saddened with all the news of death and destruction from the recent calamity.

Take Me to the Philippines by apl.de.ap of Black Eyed Peas

2009-10-03T14:51:00.000+08:00

I love the music video, the song, apl.de.ap's love for the Philippines.

Despite this being a campaign for Philippine tourism, it's hip and cool and classy. :)

It's even great to know that my provinces (Pampanga and Batangas) are mentioned in the song. :D

I Can Survive in the Arctic Without Clothes

2009-07-18T14:51:00.000+08:00

I can survive the Arctic without clothes!

Well, for two and a half hours that is..

According to this online quiz. Hehe.

It may seem outrageous but the quiz is quite funny. Try it for yourself and tell me how long you can survive the Arctic... without clothes! (Who would do that anyway? Ice Age people maybe. :D)

Addicted to Facebook

2009-07-05T12:23:00.000+08:00

I had a Facebook account even before the craze (and advertising) but I wasn't using it often just like my Friendster account because I got bored with all the social networking sites' activities.

But when my friend asked me to accept his invite for Mafia Wars, that was the start of my addiction. Facebook really has the UI, games, interaction that most people will get hook into. It even made me stop blogging, ei? Hehehe. (Plus the fact that I don't have the free access to blog anymore because of work.)

What games do you play in FB? I do Mafia Wars, then Pet Society and Farm Town on the side. I also recently found Bloodlines good though my first love would still be MW. :D

Wanna Join My Mafia?

2009-05-16T21:20:00.000+08:00

I'm so addicted to Mafia Wars in Facebook that I even blog it now, huh? Gawd.

I think I picked a not-so-Mafia nickname. I don't know much about the family, capice? Hehe. But I do enjoy this, now that I realize it, it brings out the gangster in me. Tsk tsk tsk.

You into Facebook? Mafia Wars? If not, join me. Please do. You might enjoy it or not but there's no harm in trying, ei? I also ignored my friend's request a long time ago until he reminded me personally without any obligation of playing he say. Now I'm hooked.

Angels and Demons, Still Better Than Da Vinci Code

2009-05-16T20:40:00.001+08:00

I've read both books of Dan Brown and I liked the first Robert Langdon novel than the more controversial one because of the twisted twists. So maybe it's not a surprise that I liked its movie version as well compared to The Da Vinci Code movie.

Though the non-Brown fan would assume that Angels and Demons is the sequel of The Da Vinci Code especially with the movie pointing to a previous adventure of the professor, it's actually the opposite. Angels and Demons is the prequel though there's no problem with the events overlapping or interchanging since the two plots weren't connected with each other.

As for the movie elements, I nitpick on editing and I hate it when I see ugly cuts in the film. It makes the film cheap at times and I thought they could've made this low-budgeted since they know many will still see the movie just because of the title. True.

Book-wise, of course we know that the movie would alter scenes. Since it's been years since I read the novel, I don't recall exact parts of the plot that weren't played except for the the "Air" cardinal. He was located not at the stairs but at a bench. And of course, who wouldn't miss the greatest twist in the story? The carmelengo is the biological son of the late pope. Still I understand the gravity of that concept so we'll forgive them for that. I assume that we're blessed that the movie wasn't totally banned from filming.

Despite that great bit of twist that was left behind and the disappointment of not seeing Anne Hathaway as Vittoria (from past rumors), I can still say that Angels and Demons is a great film and we can give most of the credit to the novel of course. But I thank the screenwriters in putting a better film in Angels and Demons than the disappointing Da Vinci Code (maybe because of the greater scandal there).

If you haven't read the book, you may find this movie a little bit boring at first especially on tiring details combined with a little drag of comedy from Tom Hanks. (Still I think Hanks is perfect as Langdon.) But the story, particularly the climax that tries to lengthen and form as it goes, will surprise you as what I experienced when I finished reading the book years ago.

As one of my favorite books, Angels and Demons' message wasn't lost in the movie despite the obvious bending to religion instead of academe. The movie was worth the watch despite knowing the ending... the graphic visuals of torture are enough. (Though I think they were minimized for the audience. Or maybe I just had a darker imagination. Hehe.)

Twitter + YouTube = BuzzTrendz?

I think trends are now easily set especially online because communication is faster and easier to access. What do you think?

Pacquiao Win Over Hatton at Round 2

2009-05-03T11:49:00.001+08:00

WTF Manny Pacquiao won TKO over Ricky Hatton on Round 2!

I wasn't even able to watch clearly because of my net buffering. Hell.

Didn't see Hatton's defeat this early in the fight. Pacquiao really nailed his pound-for-pound title now, no doubts about it. Freddie Roach and Michael Murrer did a good job for training here. Congrats to Team Pacquiao, congrats to the Filipinos. Yeah!

So who's next? Mayweather Jr.?

Celebrities Do Twitter

2009-04-25T08:12:00.000+08:00

Twitter is going on a rampage that even the likes of Britney, Paris and Mariah have their own Twitter accounts. My own favorite is Obama's, of course. ^^

Sad thing that I seldom (if not never) tweet now due to my offline life.

Has Twitter invaded your life?

Do You Feel That You've Changed for the Better?

2009-04-19T10:40:00.000+08:00

Four days ago around four in the morning, I tapped away these thoughts while wanting to sleep more. I don't talk about myself much here, I think, so indulge me.

***

I...

want to find the balance between subjectivity and objectivity. When you're too subjective, you can't hear; when you're too objective, you can't feel.

don't break the rules. I follow then play along and from there, make my own.

am not an atheist but don't put too much faith on religion. Better to have faith in God, myself and my fellowman.

Am in love with words - the delectable picking of the right one to use in a phrase, a sentence, a paragraph (a stanza, i miss my poetry); the sweet melding of thought into substance; the mere greatness of expression.

stopped looking for answers to everything. It's easier to ask than to accept. But then sometimes you need to ask in order to understand then to accept. But not all the time.

Beware of Danvil Plans (Video on Probe)

2009-04-06T10:22:00.003+08:00

This is a long due post of the vid but it doesn't hurt to remind you again. I'd like to clear up too that Danvil isn't a scam but their marketing strategy sucks, that's why most of the planholders go home restless feeling conned. That's how I felt when I fell for their dirty tactics. Good thing I got out of it. Whew.

If you're a Danvil planholder and you want to cancel your plan, you might want to check my post on how I did it last year with some more tips from others. Good luck!

Rayver Cruz, Sarah Geronimo's Next Leading Man

2009-03-29T15:18:00.000+08:00

I really liked Sarah Geronimo and Rayver Cruz' chemistry in "You Changed My Life" so it's a delight to know that they'll be doing a film when Sarah gets back from her tour abroad. Double treat also because they're teamed up with Toni Gonzaga and Vhong Navarro, whom I loved at "My Only U". ^^

Source: Rayver Cruz is set to do another movie with Sarah Geronimo

Just saw some vids of Sarah and Rayver performing together at ASAP and I think they really pull it off together. :)

I didn't know Rayver can sing so well. Additional pogi points hehe. Ayaw din naman patalo ni Sarah sa dancing. :D

Hell, I sound like an avid fan though I'm not. :D

Resurfacing to blog earth

2009-03-18T20:29:00.000+08:00

Thank God for free wifi. :D

This post was brought to you by Krispy Kreme's free wifi despite the fact that I'm in Pizza Hut. I shouldn't have mentioned that because KK might kick me out of their network next time. But if that happens, Pizza Hut should have their own hotspot so I can try out all their P99 meals. :D

I hope I'm really getting the hang of this new chapter in my life so I can revisit my old habits. Oh and before I go home, I'm here at Megamall, so for those who need free wifi and affordable meals, that's a tip above. Unless you hate pizzas.

What inspires you to wake up each morning?

2009-03-16T19:06:00.001+08:00

Just read Bo's recent article/newsletter. He says he's able to wake up at even 4am now because he chose to.

Seems apt with what I plan to do. Compared to my previous sleeping habits, I now rise earlier a few minutes before seven. Yeah I know it's no major feat for many but to me it's a great change from rising at noon. Hehe.

But now I plan to challenge myself more and rise earlier. I want to be able to take pictures again but I can't with my current schedule so rising early in the morning might solve this craving of mine. Let's see.

You can do anything you put your mind to. You're the one who limits your capabilities. What inspires you to get up and going? :)
